Greetings, all,

1) By way of reminder that conditions good for birders aren't always
good for birds, I found one of Seattle's many visiting Red-breasted
Sapsuckers dead on Capitol Hill (near Belmont and Bellevue) on the 2nd.

2) At Montlake Fill this afternoon, I failed to find the Redhead, but
one of the male EURASIAN WIGEON showed no white on the side or flanks
(grading into the darker rump) and only a hint of pale forehead.
TRUMPETER SWANS were still in the bay.

Cheers,

Alan Grenon
Seattle
